2013 ALUMNI CONFERENCE

We’re pleased to announce that the 2013 Alumni Conference will be held at St. Mary’s College in Moraga, CA from Sunday July 28, to Saturday, August 3. St. Mary’s boasts one of the most beautiful campuses in the country, surrounded by 400 acres of hills, pines, hidden gardens, and hiking trails galore. http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/node/3243

Those of you who have never attended a conference before have probably already heard it: Come! You’ll be welcomed! It’s true, because you already belong here. Lots of recent grads have come in the last few years; reach out to someone you know who attended to check it out. Maybe recruit a buddy or two to share a ride (or teach a course or sit on a panel). Come create the residency you want!

Alumni Bibliography Updates

From the MFA Program

It’s that time of year again: we’ll be adding updates to the Alumni Bibliography, so please email me about any recent book publications.

Include, in this order please:

(1) your full name

(2) the name of your book

(3) the name of your publisher

(4) year of publication, and

(5) specify poems, novel, short fiction, nonfiction, etc. (You may also include books such as anthologies that you have edited.)

(6) the year and genre in which you graduated.

Please send updates to me at [email protected], and put ALUMNI BIBLIOGRAPHY in the subject line. If you know of publications by alumni who are not on the list, please encourage them to get in touch with me, or send me what information you have.

The alumni bibliography (currently updated twice a year) is accessible from a link on the WWC MFA website:
